Did yours take to a sea anemone?
What's it called when they use it anyway?

yeah, some cool and interesting set-ups posted... especially the tank with the horeshoe crab, has alot of "more unsual" residents than the typical clown-tang-angel mix!
the photo of the undulate trigger is cool, actually i just saw one at a lfs, a chain store at that! had been quite some time since i last saw one for sale.... they also had a sohal tang for sale, and i noticed the price of that was alot cheaper than when i last saw one for sale....
to the guy contemplating the set-up for the octopus, a couple thoughts... you know about aros ability to escape out of tanks??? well, ya have not seen anything yet when it comes to octopus and their abilities... have to have the tank super-sealed!!! also, you are aware that they are very short lived i assume... a year to a year and a half for most all of em, unfortunately! also, cuttlefish have alot of that wow factor as well, have shorter and fewer tentacles and the ability to change colors though nowhere near the level of the octopus... the big drawback is they have a really poor rate of surviving shipping... ifn ya can find one at a lfs that is already acclimated and eating check it out!

I love salt fishies
Yeah i have had my salt tank for over a year! Just make sure your tang has room to swim, because thats what they like to do! heh.
Also the Lawnmower bleeny's are my favorite in the salt world. They have the coolest personality!!!
What size tank you have?
Here are a few pics of my fish that i still have/used to have.
